A positive spin:Climate change will happen gradually.The Barrier Reef would move south with the warmth and vertically with the rising sea level. Coral grows at 13 cm a year.We do without snow already, almost everywhere, almost all year.Tropical species will also move south, along the Great Divide.Energy efficient houses will cost LESS to cool than most of today's houses.There is boundless energy around, mostly cracking rocks and making waves. Our descendants will harness it.As the coastline moves inland, so will the desert and the arable land.Gradually!Am I right that bushfire risk is LESS in the humid tropics?Heatwave mortality is a fallacious extrapolation.The biggest worries are cyclonic winds and the crashing of coastal property values.But our race will cope, as it has since the last ice age.Anti-catastrophists, unite!
